sheenalim the accounts receivable period can be shorter than the cash cycle or it's always shorter than the cash cycle?
leftcoast sheenalim - if you paid your payables the day your inventory is sold, your cash cycle is essentially your receivable period, therefore they would be the same. So the receivable period is always less than or equal to the cash cycle.
